Ever since that night, they became good friends. They talked in the common room about

anything; they even came to the point of calling each other by their first names. Gone

were the glares and sneers, they acted like normal friends, but, they still acted as if they

weren't friends outside the common room, though they acted civilly, like greeting each

other, but with their last names and having small talk about head business, but they never

acted like they way they acted when in the common room. Yes, they changed ways but

afterall,they still had reputations to put up. It was a silent agreement between the two.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakeee uuuuuuuuuuuuup!

"damn alarm" Draco cursed as he knocked the alarm off the table

"hmmm, I wonder if Hermione's done"

He went to check the bathroom door, only to find it unlocked, and the bathroom, unused.

"hey Hermione!" he banged on Hermione's door "? You were supposed to go first today!

You better get up or I'll use the bath first"

no answer

" Hermione!" bang bang bang

All he could hear was a faint "go away"

" hmmm…better check this out" so he went inside her room , there he saw Hermione,

buried under her blankets and looking deathly pail.

" hey are you ok?"

Her eyes shot open and she started to get up "Draco, get out of my –ooh" she fell back

suddenly feeling very dizzy

With his seeker reflexes, Draco caught her immediately

" Merlin Hermione! You're bloody hot!"

" really Draco, and I thought you didn't fancy gryffindors"

" not that way, you nitwit, what the hell did you do yesterday?"

" went outside, had to give something to Hagrid"

" are you bloody mad! There was a rainstorm yesterday!"

" so I've noticed"

"for someone so smart, you're really stupid"

" that was dramatically incorrect" she started to get back up again, but again, she fell

back, Draco caught her…again

" ugh, listen, you are not going anywhere"

" no, I'm not, I am going to class"

" it's Saturday Hermione"

"oh, then I'm going with Ginny then, I'm going to Hogsmeade"

" like hell you are, you can't even stand up"

"yes I can" with that she started to stand up, only to fall back and have Draco catch her,

again

"see"

"dammit"

"now, be a good Gryffindor and get some rest, I'll go to the hospital wing and get

something for your fever"

" but I don't want to miss hogsmeade! Ginny will be disappointed"

" I'll tell her as soon as I get your medicine, I'm sure she'll understand, now get some

sleep and I'll be back in a while"

" why are you doing this?"

" I don't want you to end up dead, they might blame me for it" he said with a smirk

" thanks madam Pomfrey, ill male sure she takes these-oof"

"hey!"

"oh, weasley, just the person I'm looking for, granger can't make it today, she's sick and

" really Malfoy, am I supposed to believe you?"

Draco showed her the different potions he was holding in his hands

" oh, right, well,tell her its ok and that she get well soon, ok?"

"yeah, will do" Draco said as he walked away

"hmmmm..he seemed nice, he's doing stuff for mione it be…nah!"

Hermione didn't get better later that day, she drank one vial of her potion but she was still

very sick, Draco observed, as he was going up during lunch to get ready for his quidditch

practice and to check up on Hermione. In fact, she was shivering violently.

Hermione was in between being awake and being asleep. She couldn't remember if she

was having a dream or if she imagined it all. She thought she was imagining Draco

talking to her again. All she knew was that it was freezing,but it was around 80 degress

outside.

"Hermione are you ok?-wait, stupid question"

"cold, just cold" Hermione said softly, she couldn't find her voice, her throat felt very

swollen

" wait, ill get more blankets, don't go anywhere ok?"

" haha, yeah, I won't, I promise" she whispered

Draco put on more blankets, but she was still shivering.

" here, drink some water, it'll make you feel better"

Hermione obediently drank the water

Draco could still see that she was still very cold, but there were four blankets already, and

he didn't want her to get overheated, but she looked so sick, so he had no choice, he took

off his shoes and his cloak and laid down beside her

"what are you doing?" Hermione's eyes shot up

" just shut up, and go back to sleep" he said as he put his arms around her and tucked her

head at the crook of his neck

" but I thought you had quidditch practice" was a muffled reply

" nah,it's ok, the guys could do without me this time, now, I said shut up and go back to

sleep"

Hermione was too weak to protest, so he decided to take his advice and go to sleep, she

snuggled closer and immediately began falling asleep.

Hermione started to shiver less and less, until it stopped. She didn't know if it was her

fever or the potion or if she had imagined it, but she could have sworn she felt Draco kiss

her forehead.
